The Most Brutal Gang Initiations

MS-13: Mara Salvatrucha 13

Mara Salvatrucha 13, better known as MS-13, likely started in El Salvador before spreading throughout the rest of North America. Initiation for men usually involves commiting severe acts of violence or being jumped in.One child recruit was only 11 when he was jumped in by five of the strongest MS-13 gangsters, who beat the kid unconscious. Females wishing to join MS-13 undergo the most horrifying initiation within the gang, involving several full-fledged MS-13 males forcing themselves on the female recruit as part of a ‘sexed in’ ritual. The FBI believes that around 10,000 members exist in the U.S. and up to 40,000 operate in Guatemala and Honduras.
